Add a Coincidence Constraint

Set two parts coincident. From both parts, select an element (a face, line or point) to be constrained. If the result is not what you expected, you can flip the Coincident constraint.

  1. On the tab, in the Constraints group, select Add coincidence constraint.
  2. Select the first part (A).
  3. Select the appropriate face, line or point (B) on the first part.
  4. Select the second part (C).
  5. Select the appropriate face, line or point (D) on the second part. The parts will be positioned in accordance with the constraint.
  6. Select Confirm.
Note:
  • You can define a constraint as configuration-specific by selecting the constraint and then selecting the context-sensitive menu function Edit.
